Terraria: Chlorophyte

Farm and Mine this Precious Ore

Chlorophyte ore in Terraria can be farmed and mined infinitely Chlorophyte is an ore that grows when planted underground, therefore infinite Chlorophyte is available without making new worlds.

Chlorophyte is an ore that is used numerous ways to craft multiple armor, weapon and tool sets. This green metal can be found in the Underground Jungle biome, which spawns in every world. Chlorophyte can be mined after you've defeated the three Mechanical Bosses of Hard Mode and used the Souls they drop to make a Pickaxe Axe or Drax (either is fine, pickaxes have more knockback and less annoying sound, however). What many players may not realize is that Chlorophyte grows, and fewer still will know that you can make your own Chlorophyte farms in order to ensure a steady, safe supply of this precious ore.

Either the Pickaxe Axe or Drax is required to mine Chlorophyte Either the Pickaxe Axe or Drax is required to mine Chlorophyte ore. Get one of these using Hallowed Bars and Souls dropped from the three mechanical bosses.

Once you've met this important goal of eliminating all three bosses, you can head to the Underground Jungle to begin mining Chlorophyte and finding other useful metals, drops, and accessories. While adventuring there, save the mud blocks you mine while carving out the caves.

Chlorophyte Armor and Weapons take a lot of bars, but Chlorophyte is also used in the production of Spectre and Shroomite bars. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Chlorophyte is also used in the production of Shroomite and Spectre bars and their respective tools and armor sets.

You'll notice that the deeper you go, the larger the veins get. This is because you're initially seeing Chlorophyte in the Underground layer, but it grows faster when in the Cavern layer. We can use this to our advantage, since we can utilize 2k+ Chlorophyte ore if we want to craft everything available.

My first Chlorophyte farm. My first Chlorophyte farm is sub-optimal, because they are placed too close together. Still, the below result put a smile on my face.

Don't smelt all the Chlorophyte you get. Save at least 5-6 ore so that you can plant them. Yes, plant them. Chlorophyte grows in mud. Put it in your hotbar after making some large squares of mud and you can place it like any other block. Put one Chlorophyte right in the center of a big square, 7-9 blocks wide and tall. It has some internal limits, and the first farm I've shown here is not optimized, nor is the second. Fact is, I don't care about it being perfect but will be working to widen this farm so that I can waste less time placing blocks and have more Chlorophyte grow faster.

Carve out a large section in the Cavern layer, deep underground (at least halfway to the underworld) and have plenty of room. Your new Chlorophyte Pickaxe should help speed that up, particularly if you can reforge +speed on it. Do this away from the Crimson or Corruption so that it doesn't move in on your Chlorophyte farm.

My chlorophyte farm grew while I adventured elsewhere. My chlorophyte grew while I did other things. Like fight Plantera and explore the Dungeon for Ectoplasm.

Mine the Chlorophyte, and have a stack of mud blocks with you. You can now plant some of the Chlorophyte again to repeat the process and safely smelt the new ore into bars. Space it out further than I did, and it will grow more efficiently. Make it at least 40 blocks in between, if not more.

A bigger Chlorophyte farm with a second tier. I should have went about 20-30 blocks higher with this, but so long as you understand the concept you can grow your Chlorophyte effectively.

I carved out a second level further up in order to grow more. Going even higher would have been better, but this works for now!

Future Plans for the Guide

My Guide was started on Sept 23, 2015 and now includes dozens of pages about the game. I hope I can help newcomers to get a bit more enjoyment ouf of Terraria by demystifying some of how it works. You can provide feedback to me at [email protected]. I am tied up with multiple projects - this, The Sims 4, and Fallout 4 but do plan to return to Terraria and finish the boss guides and some other pages.
